Her brown eyes once held
A strange new world to me.
I once dreamed about getting to
Explore every curve of her body,
As well as the curves of her soul.
I thought she was going to be
A permanent fixture in my life
But as quickly as we came together
We fell apart.
See, when I said “I love you”
I didn’t realize her heart had been
So completely frozen by empty promises
From those who came before
That she was incapable of feeling anything.
So when I fell for her,
I fell alone.
So incredibly engulfed in her,
I sacrificed my inner peace
To receive half hearted smiles
And skin deep compliments
That she didn’t mean.
And the hardest part of falling in love
Is the ground..
Because there was no one there to catch me.
